DES RAJ vs BHAGAT RAM (DEAD) BY LRS. .

The Supreme Court held that the plaintiff's claim of ownership by adverse possession under Section 27 of the Limitation Act, 1963 was valid as he had been in continuous and exclusive possession of the land for over 12 years, thereby extinguishing the defendants' title. The Court emphasized that the plaintiff's possession was hostile and adverse to the co-owners, which was established through evidence presented in the trial. The judgment of the lower courts was upheld, affirming the plaintiff's title and granting him permanent injunction against the defendants.
